Man In The Moon

Faris Nourallah - Man In The Moon

Do you ever think about the man in the moon
Do you ever think that people thought it was god
Five million miles away, surrounded by stars
Always looking out for us we followed the stars
Long before we had cars
And we looked to the sky
And the man in the moon
But the days went by
And the need to know why
Seemed to coincide with ‘there’s no man in the moon’

Have we came along with all our rocket science
Turning simple things into a labyrinth beast
Have we gained a lot by keeping children’s tales
Have we come that far since the days we followed the stars
Long before we had cars
And we looked to the sky
And the man in the moon
But the days went by
And the need to know why
Seemed to coincide with ‘there’s no man in the moon’
Man in the moon

Do you ever think about the man in the moon

Morningside

Neil Diamond - Morningside

This is a fantasy.
Pure fantasy.
It’s a dream.
It’s a dream about an old man who dies alone.
And leaves a gift behind.
And it is a fantasy,.

Morningside
The old man died
And no one cried
They simply turned away
And when he died
He left a table made of nails and pride
And with his hands he carved these words inside
“For my children.”

Morning light
Morning bright
I spent the night
With dreams that make you weep
Morning tide
Wash away the sadness from these eyes of mine
For I recall the words an old man sighed
“For my children.”

And the legs they were shaped with his hands.
Ah, and the top made of oaken wood.
And all of the children that gathered around this great table and touched it with their laughter.
Ah, and that was good.

Morningside
An old man died
And no one cried
He surely died alone
The truth is sad
For not a child would claim the gift he had
The words he carved became his epitaph
“For my children.”

Home.
Santos.
Home.
Home.
Home.

Little Black Ache

Bishop Allen - Little Black Ache

Chasing my excuses to the end of the night
Tried to make a friend, but it ended with a fight
I don’t know why and I don’t know when
But my keys have found a way to lock me out again

Sleeping on the subway in my interview tie
Wander through the rain, sit and wonder why
Haven’t got a plan, I haven’t got a clue
I’ve only got one lonely thing that’s gonna see me through

I’ve got my little black ache (black ache) What you got?
I’ve got my little black ache (black ache) What you got?
I’ve got my little black ache (black ache) What you got?
My little black ache won’t fade

Lovely little girl, crowded little place
I swear on this old Bible that I’ve never seen her face
She talks like I know what she’s talking about
Somewhere there’s a door that’s got to let me out

Hello, sleepless soul, I’m a’passing on the street
Know that like me you only rest on your feet
I know I had some friends, I can almost hear their names
Now I got one lonely thing and no one left to blame

I’ve got my little black ache (black ache) What you got?
I’ve got my little black ache (black ache) What you got?
I’ve got my little black ache (black ache) What you got?
My little black ache won’t fade

I’ve got my little black ache
I’ve got my little black ache
I’ve got my little black ache
My little black ache won’t fade

I’ve got my little black ache (black ache) What you got?
I’ve got my little black ache (black ache) What you got?
I’ve got my little black ache (black ache) What you got?
My little black ache won’t fade

I’ve got my little black ache (black ache) What you got?
I’ve got my little black ache (black ache) What you got?
I’ve got my little black ache (black ache) What you got?
My little black ache won’t fade

Broken Social Scene - Anthems For A Seventeen Year-Old Girl

Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that
Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that
Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that
Now you’re all gone, got your make-up on, and you’re not coming back (can’t you come back)
Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that
Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that
Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that
Now you’re all gone, got your make-up on, and you’re not coming back
Bleaching your teeth, smile in a flash, talking trash under your breath
Bleaching your teeth, smile in a flash, talking trash under your breath
Bleaching your teeth, smile in a flash, talking trash under your breath
Bleaching your teeth, smile in a flash, talking trash under my window

Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me

Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, park that car, drop that phone
Park that car, drop that phone, park that car, drop that phone
Park that car, drop that phone…

Blind song

The Love Letter Band - Blind Song

It’s not the bright things that hurt our eyes
It’s the things we can’t see that make us blind

It’s not the loud things that hurt our ears
It’s the things we can’t hear that make us deaf

It’s not the words that are spoken to us
It’s the words left out that hurt the most

You never said I love you

Summer

Radiogram - Summer Song Summer

My idea of the perfect day
Would be to lie in bed and just melt away
The sun through my window casts its hazy rays
It turns reflections into memories

Another summer song summer
Full of one-hit number ones
Current on the charts
So that I can sing along
All the seasonal behavior
Yeah, the kids come on too strong
Another summer gone summer
But it’s someone else’s song

It’s been so long since we sang, so long
I didn’t know it’d be our one-hit song
We played it every hour all summer long
Until the needle broke under your thumb

Another summer gone summer
Full of one-hit wonder songs
Current on the charts
Still I try to sing along
All the seasonal behavior
Everyone comes on too strong
Another summer song summer
But it’s someone else’s song

My idea of the perfect day
Would be to lie in bed and just melt away

Another summer song summer
Full of one-hit number ones
Current on the charts
Everybody sing along
All the seasonal behavior
I’ve been coming on too strong
Another summer gone summer
But it’s someone else’s song
